The PPP/AAL5 format configuration options are:
D never
The STHome will make sure that FF-03 will never be found
in front of a PPP packet encapsulated on an AAL5/ATM
connection, independent of the actual format of the PPP
packets in the tunnel. This is the default setting and follows
RFC 2364.
D always
The STHome will make sure that FF-03 is always in front
of a PPP packet encapsulated on an AAL5/ATM connection.
Although not supported by RFC 2364, some equipment
may rely on this format.
D keep
The STHome will not change the PPP packet arriving via
a tunnel, that is, it will keep the two bytes in front of the
packet when it encapsulates the packet.
This configuration possibility applies only to the upstream
direction! In the downstream direction, the STHome will
always make sure that FF-03 is in front of the packet prior to
put it in a PPTP tunnel.
"
State
The Speed Touch  Home allows multiple users to connect
simultaneously.
From the moment a PPP/PPTP connection is established, the state
field of this connection changes from 'IDLE' to 'In Use
(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)'. The number in brackets is the IP address of the
PC currently using the connection.
7.1.8 The Bridging Web Page
The STHome contains an IEEE 802.1D compliant Transparent
Bridge that can be reconfigured via this web page.
In principle for Bridging nothing needs to be configured for proper
operation as it is a Plug & Play device.
However, should interoperability problems occur, you can easily
change the default settings according to the information supplied by
the remote organization (ISP or corporate).
